AutoCad 2015 printing with HP Officejet 7612 - A3 sheet not recognising margins?

[Anonymous]

Any solutions I'm using AutoCAD 2015 with a HP Officejet 7612 and When I set my sheets to A3 and allowing for the printers margins.

I can only get sheets that print cropped?

Help

Cropped output usually means you're not allowing for more space in those margins.
So what are your margin settings in AutoCAD, and what are the margins your printer requires?

ive just had the same issue with 2018 and a hp business 2800, cropping out the borders set on the template, highly annoying and will be keeping an eye on this thread for a solution.

Again, cropped prints usually means the margins in AutoCAD are too small for your printer.

Find out what the margins for your printer truly are: draw a rectangle, place a hatch in it, start PLOT command, FIT scale and CENTER option, the paper size you want, WINDOW selection inside the rectangle you drew with the match.
No measure the all ink area on paper.
That's the size you can only print to from 2018 to that printer using that driver at the current driver settings.

Hi @Anonymous,

Did you try Dean's suggestion of creating a rectangle and then plotting to fit with the centered option? It is a tried and true method.

Please add a post with your results.

Hi @Anonymous,

Can you tell me which driver you are using for the OfficeJet? I can try to install the driver and take a look at the options. It would also be helpful if you could attach a sample drawing that contains a named page setup. I am happy to take a closer look at this issue for you.
